The year’s only Libra full moon on Saturday, April 12 (8:22 PM EDT) puts partnership and cooperation in the spotlight. Here’s how to work with the collaborative energy of this full moon and your sign’s horoscope.
The April 12 Libra full moon brings relationship dynamics into sharp focus—romantic, platonic and professional alike.
Ruled by Venus, Libra energy invites a moment of reflection: Is your give-and-take truly mutual, or are the scales starting to tip?
Birds of a feather might just stay together forever under the light of this full moon in the sign of partnerships. If you’re still searching for a perfect plus-one, cast a wider net.
Whether you’re craving deeper intimacy or renegotiating the terms of a creative collaboration, this full moon illuminates what’s working and what needs a reset.
Speaking of Venus…
Venus retrograde ends on the same day as the Libra full moon! Since March 1, the love planet and ruler of Libra has dealt romantic reviews, beauty rethinks and emotional backspacing.
Expect a collective exhale as clarity returns to your closest bonds (and maybe even your closet) when Venus turns direct on April 12. Venus retrograde scrambles desires, making us second-guess love and style. With Venus direct, your inner compass is realigned and what (or who) you’re attracted to might suddenly make a lot more sense.
The Libra full moon gets a buddy pass from Jupiter
Global Jupiter in Gemini could help you magnetize interest from collaborators in far-flung locales. (Is your passport up to date?!)
Since Jupiter is the galactic gambler, you might as well make “nothing ventured, nothing gained” your mantra. Slide into the DMs of that deejay in Berlin who you’ve been following for months or invite your “will they or won’t they?” crush out on a proper date.
But watch those you’ve been at odds with
With the Libra full moon’s drama-loving energy, don’t be surprised if tensions rise before harmony is restored.
But the diplomatic beams of the Libra full moon set the stage for a productive dialogue. The only catch? Feisty Mars in Cancer is square la luna, so go in softly to avoid riling up anyone’s defense mechanisms or accidentally triggering their inner 8-year-old brat.
Need to rebalance the load with a collaborator? Fair-minded Libra reminds us that an “even split” is different for everyone. Divvy up duties in a way that feels manageable for both of you and consider outsourcing things that you both hate doing.
Connections where you least expect to find them?
This lunar lift could spark a surprise chance to pair up—romantically, creatively or professionally. Stay open to serendipity: a DM slide, a new collaborator, or an unexpected “you too?” moment could be the start of something beautifully mutual.
Under Libra’s spell, compromise supersedes competition, connection melts conflict, and generosity takes center stage. And honestly—couldn’t we all use a little more of that right now? Think of how supercouple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce publicly support each other’s careers without losing themselves as individuals. This Libra moon supports synergy and balance.
Think of the Libra full moon as a tuning fork for balance. You might suddenly “hear” where things have been off-key—then find the exact note to harmonize. Whether you’re rebuilding trust or falling in sync with someone new, this could be one of the year’s most exhilarating bonding moments!
Love’s peak manifesting time for the April 12 Libra full moon
Full moons are heart-openers, no question about it. The two weeks that follow the April 12 Libra full moon are peak manifesting time. As heart and mind open, expect clarity about a relationship’s potential.
Connections that have been percolating for the past six months could reach a defining moment, too. You may finally see the true potential of a relationship—whether it’s blooming, plateauing or ready for a more soulful next step.
Couples may be ready to talk about rings, leases, or other long-term collabs.
Singles may find it’s time to ditch the emotional floaties and make a bold splash back into the dating pool. With Libra’s Venusian glow lighting the way, flirtations could turn magnetic fast—especially if you lead with honesty.
One more thing: The Sun is conjunct Chiron in Aries
The Sun makes its annual cazimi with Chiron in Aries on April 12. Chiron is the wounded healer. Aries is the warrior. Where in your life is it appropriate to fight with this purposeful energy?
Because the Libra full moon and Chiron in Aries are in a cardinal t-square (3-way tug of war) with Mars in Cancer, there may be scenarios where you want to find peace and ease conflict. The Sun in Chiron reminds us, though: at what cost am I keeping the peace?

Aries (March 19-April 19)
Is that your heart on your sleeve, Aries? You’re more known for your straight-shooting answers than for offering a shoulder to cry on, but April 12’s stars might turn you into a bit of a mushball. (And no, it’s not a wardrobe malfunction.) With the generous Sun aligned with healing comet Chiron in your sign, you totally understand the power of simply holding space for someone without doling out advice, constructive criticism or tough love. Listen, acknowledge, support: Just being there for a friend or colleague is the most valuable thing you can do.
The Libra full moon the same day brings a huge wave of relief to your personal life. Not only is it shining its harmonizing beams into your relationship zone, but love planet Venus snaps back into direct motion. On March 1, Venus turned retrograde in YOUR sign, and since March 27, it’s been in Pisces and your house of hidden agendas and rest. This cycle might have revealed an untrustworthy person or given you a serious case of burnout. Shake off those blues and blahs now!

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
There’s no broom on the market big enough to sweep an 800-pound elephant under the rug. If you’re facing a challenging issue, it’s time to acknowledge it and start dealing with it. April 12’s cosmic alignment of the bold Sun and healing comet Chiron in your twelfth house of introspection gives you the courage to confront this with a mix of self-compassion AND your signature no-B.S. attitude. Take the first step by getting honest with yourself about how this situation is making you FEEL.
Collaborations get a helpful cosmic boost from the peace-love full moon in Libra the same day, the only one this year!

Gemini (May 20-June 20)
Release your defenses and embrace some good old-fashioned vulnerability today, Gem. While you relish being the go-to person for sage advice or the latest trends, that’s not what people admire most about you. The authentic Sun merges with healing comet Chiron in your friendship sector, creating a perfect opportunity to shed your “I’ve got it all together” facade. Try something different by allowing others to provide YOU with support. Receptivity is a strength. This is great news for your long-term plans, especially in love, too. The full moon in luminous Libra the same day lights up your fifth house of amour, filling you up with romantic promise.
As Venus ends its difficult retrograde the same day, couples can get back on the same page and single Twins will be able to pinpoint what they want for the long haul. If there’s been tension with a coworker or delays with a creative project, those should clear up as well.

Cancer (June 20-July 22)
When you’ve got so many balls in the air, Cancer, it’s only natural that one of them might drop. And if that happens, don’t get all flustered. Just stop, pick it up and, if you can, make a little joke about it. The thing NOT to do: Pretend you’ve got it all under control if you don’t. Planetary newsflash: No one expects you to be “flawless,” and when you show your human side, people will actually have more respect for you. A wave of warm-fuzzies washes in with the harmonizing Libra full moon on April 12.
The same day, Venus, the planet of beauty and love turns direct after a six-week retrograde that has been affecting your ninth house of expansion, travel and big-picture visions. Venus returns to her social graces, gilding your more outspoken words with the right dose of diplomacy. A renewed surge of enthusiasm return, so roll up your sleeves and get back to work on those enterprising dreams.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Don’t assume that everyone with a different opinion is your adversary, Leo. Such absolute beliefs tend to create barriers, not connections. With the Sun, your ruler, aligned with healing comet Chiron in your ninth house of inclusivity and ideologies on April 12, you have an opportunity to connect with someone from a vastly different background or who holds divergent beliefs. Make an effort to listen actively and empathetically. You might not change anyone’s perspective, but you could gain valuable insights from the exchange.
The same day’s Libra full moon could bring an end to a difficult bout of control issues and head trips, especially in your personal life. With the full moon in this cooperative sing, a compromise will start to materialize. Moreover, you’ll be in the mood for peace as Venus wraps up a six-week retrograde. With Venus in direct motion, you can repair any rifts in your bonds or move forward with more reliable candidates.

Virgo (August 22-September 22)
Things are heating up this weekend, and that warmth isn’t just from the rising spring temps. As the bold Sun aligns with healing comet Chiron in your eighth house of intimacy and transformation, you may be feeling a strong and irresistible energy radiating from within. This is a great time to clear your schedule and plan a special evening with your plus-one of choice, or to put yourself out there and attend a gathering.
With the Libra full moon activating your sensual second house the same day, you may even make a deep and meaningful soul connection with someone new. Don’t hold back, Virgo! Even more motivation comes April 12, as love planet Venus ends a challenging six-week retrograde. Don’t worry, Virgo: You haven’t lost that lovin’ feeling entirely. With Venus resuming direct motion, you should find it much easier to connect and get back on the same page.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
An empowering alignment of the loving Sun and healing Chiron in your seventh house of dynamic duos can help you get a wobbly relationship back on its feet. Remember, Libra: It’s not about who’s “right” or “wrong” or even “who started it.” Every partnership is a two-way street, and if things have gotten off-track, it will take both of you to sort it out. If you’re unattached, take a moment to ask yourself what one thing you might do differently to manifest different results.
You’ll be ready to take action—no more deliberating—as the year’s only Libra full moon on the same day powers up your confidence. That’s not all! Your cosmic ruler, Venus, snaps out of a six-week retrograde. As Venus powers forward into direct motion, go ahead and invest in a new shelving unit or tasteful storage baskets. Clear out your kitchen cabinets and fill them with fresh, healthy fare. If you endured a rocky relationship patch, your closest connections can get back on track.

Scorpio (October 22-November 21)
The devil—and perhaps a way to work out some of your anxiety—is in the details on April 12, Scorpio. Under an empowering mashup of the creative Sun and healing Chiron in your sixth house of organization, systems and service, shift your focus from “what’s in it for me?” to “how can my talents make a difference to others?”
Then, as you find small ways to contribute, take time to savor each moment. The benefit to you: You can become more aware of your thoughts as you slowly and mindfully go about your day. You’ll get support from the Libra full moon the same day, which amplifies the “messages” from your subconscious. Get ready for serious downloads to flood in—both from the moon AND Venus, who is snapping out of a six-week retrograde, too!

Sagittarius (November 21-December 21)
Beauty is NOT just skin-deep, Archer, especially when you allow yourself to feel gorgeous just because you’re you! The April 12 empowering alignment of the creative Sun and healing Chiron in your fifth house of love and glamour helps you unlock a signature style that resonates with your soul. This isn’t about artificially making yourself up to conform to someone else’s standards of attractiveness. It’s about discovering your genuine look and voice and sharing it with the world in a way that inspires others to revel in their own awesomeness.
Expect plenty of fans to take notice, however. With the year’s only Libra full moon prettying up your eleventh house of community, you’ll light up any (chat)room you step or log into! More to celebrate on the same day? Harmonizer Venus wraps up a six-week retrograde that’s been helping you dive deep into your feelings. With Venus direct, you can be assured that you won’t coat the walls in a hideous hue or end up with buyer’s remorse over that new (non-returnable) leather sectional.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Even the highest-achieving Capricorn can’t be all things to all people, and April 12’s stars send a reminder alarm to stop even trying. Under a self-empowering alignment of the Sun and healing Chiron in your foundational fourth house, it’s important to put your own needs and those of your closest connections ahead of all other agenda items. If you agreed to something that’s already giving you anxiety, reschedule it. You don’t have to force it!
Plus, with the year’s only Libra full moon activating your goal-getting tenth house, you might be determined to crush one of your bigger objectives this Saturday night. Nothing wrong with staying in—or going out solo so you can socialize strategically. Also this day? Peacekeeper Venus ends a six-week retrograde, which has stirred discord with friends and family since March 1. As Venus resumes direct (forward) motion, communication will naturally smooth out.

Aquarius (January 19-February 18)
Some people are committed to being unhappy—and bringing everyone else down with them in the process. And even you, the humanitarian of the zodiac, can’t do anything to break through that wall. April 12 features an enlightening alignment of the brilliant Sun and the healing comet Chiron in your social third house. As the clouds part, you might realize that a better question to ask than “what can I do to help this person?” is “why do I keep getting sucked in by them?” It’s okay to walk away, and when they are vampiring your energy, it’s actually necessary.
With the harmonizing Libra full moon firing up your independent ninth house the same day, your freedom is the most precious thing to fight for. AND, magnetic and beautifying Venus ends a six-week slowdown, which has been disrupting your second house of security in particular since March 27. With Venus resuming forward motion, you can revive your glow and start attracting money, opportunity and admirers once again.

Pisces (February 18-March 20)
Money can be the root of all evil or an incredible energy for transformation. Under an empowering alignment of the generous Sun and alchemical Chiron in your second house of finances and values this April 12, you can turn a brewing “crisis” into an opportunity to forge a deeper connection. That goes double as the Libra full moon charges up your eighth house of shared resources. If money has become a source of tension between you and your partner or a friend, share how you feel about it, then invite them to do the same. It might not be resolved today, but at least you’ll have initiated the discussion.
The same day, your “celestial smoke show” status is ready to be reclaimed. Venus, planet of harmony, beauty and love, has been retrograde since March 1, and worse, backing through YOUR sign since March 27. With Venus turns direct, it’s a perfect time for a style revamp or a fresh start in romance.
